Description
Reports the gamma threshold low used during
the tuning process. The generator first
attempts to achieve a tuning criteria less than
the low threshold. If it fails, it tries the high
threshold next, after the maximum tuning
counter has expired.
Send 2 data bytes.
• Bytes 0 and 1 = 7 (report gamma
threshold low)
Returns 2 data bytes:
• Bytes 0 and 1 = Gamma threshold low
(unsigned short)
Set this value with command 118; B0 = 7.
Reports the maximum tuning count used
during the tuning process. This reports the
number of attempts to tune to the low
threshold before giving up and trying the high
threshold.
Send 2 data bytes.
• Bytes 0 and 1 = 8 (maximum tuning
count)
Returns 2 data bytes:
• Bytes 0 and 1 = Maximum tuning count
(unsigned short)
Set this value with command 118; B0 = 8.
Reports tuning step time. Valid values range
from 8 μs to 4096 μs.
Send 2 data bytes.
• Bytes 0 and 1 = 22 (tuning step time)
Returns 2 data bytes.
• Bytes 0 and 1 = Tuning step time in μs.
Set this value with command 118; B0 = 22.
